We live in a world where an astounding range of complications arises to bring any cinematic project to the big screen. However, Ryan Reynolds after years of persuasion finally announced that his dear friend and sworn enemy Hugh Jackman will be returning as Wolverine in Deadpool 3. While Jackman would be growing his claws out after nearly five years, Reynolds would be portraying the merc with a mouth after four years. Given the long hiatus of both beloved characters, fans could not wait for Deadpool 3 to begin filming.

The past few months have seen the confirmation of cherished characters of the Deadpool franchise returning to the series. However, fans, which also includes director Shawn Levy, were getting impatient as the filming kept getting delayed. Not for too long, though.

Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman’s Deadpool 3 now has a release date

Fans grew more impatient with each picture of Hugh Jackman showcasing his ripped body to take on the role of Wolverine once again. However, Ryan Reynolds took his sweet time as he continued to cheer for Wrexham AFC. Now that Wrexham has finally gotten its big promotion, it has been announced that Deadpool 3 has begun filming and will be released on the 8th of November in 2024.

Just as fans predicted, the release date falls toward the end of next year. And given the fact that Deadpool 3 is paving the path for Deadpool and Wolverine to step into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the larger-than-life project is bound to take time.

Now even more so, as the decision of the upcoming flick to start filming comes as writers have gone on a strike to remind the industry that for magic to happen on the big screen, it needs to begin in the writer’s room. But looking at how it is not stopping Shawn Levy as a director and Ryan Reynolds as a producer, it either means they have the script already or that too much money has been invested in it to be delayed.

Where is Deadpool 3’s production budget?

In 2016, when the first movie starring Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool came out, after a supposed leak, that the movie would break such records was unexpected, to say the least. It earned a whopping $782.6 million over a budget of $58 million. Despite the success of the first movie, the second installment was also met with skepticism that it shattered by earning $785 million worldwide.

Now that the third installment is set to release with the added value of another blockbuster star, fans are prepared to see the movie break big records with its earnings. And also with its production budget. It is not just the star power of Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds but also the fact that it is now under the territory of MCU that hints at Deadpool 3 being a big-budget movie.
